ABBA "Waterloo" - 1974

[hotshotharry101]

Classic stuff

[TheManUnitedFTW]

back then, the ESC was a fair contest when there were judges

now, all the countries vote for their neighbours or cultural/religious similar states (e.g. Sweden + Norway, Belgium + Dutch, Aserbaidschan + Turkey, Finland + Hungary, Germany + Austria etc. Even the former Yugoslavian states vote for each other, although they hate each other)

oh got sind die klamotten der siebziger schlimm :D

[benzi849]

What means Waterloo?

[erik19borgnia]

@benzi849 It's the place where Napoleon was defeated. In the "Battle of Waterloo". Search Wikipedia.

[OscarGamarra2014]

Italian song "Si" was better than Abba's Waterloo. But Abba is a classic, and they did better songs after Waterloo. Apart from that, at first Abba chose "Hasta Mañana" (best song for me) to perform for Eurovision, but they did prefer it finally.

Waterloo was a diasaster for Napoleon and a triumph for ABBA.

[MrRubens1962]

Next to the Beatles is this the one group that chanched a whole gereration in the '70. Disco rocks. From 1973 till 1984.

[kizaquine]

je vous aime abbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaa

[toddwindyhill]

Correction......Je t'aime, Abba!!!

You need to be personal!!

[youstones]

but i love this song!

[youstones]

they never move, just stand in the same spot, like shy or som.

[BlossomMagnolia]

Don't their voices make up for their lack of motion? Plus, in the days before youtube, you didn't have to prance around to be famous.

[ChineseAuthority]

back then it was more important to concentrate on your voice and sound perfect than to move your feet. that was secundary. today is diferent.. thats why the pussycat dolls got to stardom!

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

@ChineseAuthority

that's totally not true,

as a matter of fact, some more traditional pop singers from the likes of engelbert humperdinck, demonized this kind of music, with the same arguments you just gave.

I find ABBA also better than the pussycat dolls, but every generation just has its way I guess

[LisergicoRojo]

@Guitarvirtuoso666 ehm ABBA is way way way way way better than Pussycat Dolls in soooo many ways, nah this generation sucks dun worry ur not crazy man, ABBA was very innovative, melody and stuff its great they influenced in many ways electronic music -i myself listen to goa trance but LOVE abba- i mean come on nah pussycat dolls? NO, harmonizer wasnt invented, they actually WORKED their asses off as artists, had great singers and great musical talent this is no producer shit

[1905compton]

Anyway they sing it, they are the most!
